Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 18084 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools, Subcommittee SC 8, Tools for
pressing and moulding.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18084:2005(E)

Press tools for tablets — Punches and dies

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the main dimensions, tolerances and characteristics of punches and dies
for all kinds of tablets.

This International Standard deals with measures that are relevant for the interchangeability of the press
punches between the different tableting machines of various manufacturers.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

b The appearance of the cup radius and the land shall correspond to a polished mirror (i.e. 0,025 µm u Ra u 0,10 µm).
c The land (see Figure 2, item 7) varies according to D and the tablet dimensions, and should be equal to:
⎯ 0,05 for D < 5
⎯ 0,1 for 5 u D < 20
⎯ 0,2 for D W 20.
d For shape tooling, the tolerance of all dimensions of the tip should correspond to f7 applied to the largest dimension.
e The values of L shall be subject to agreement between manufacturer and user.
f x shall be subject to agreement between manufacturer and user.
